show me the sign

Here are a couple of signs I made today. The first is just a clock made from the back of some left over beadboard (yes I use everything, all my scraps). This piece was small maybe 1 foot by 1 foot. Painted it cream added the numbers, distressed with gritty sandpaper and then antiqued.

The secord sign or "flag" is something I saw on miss mustard seed. She made the cutest Jack Union Dresser. I didnt have a dresser hangin around-(dang it) But did have this 3 x 3 foot board in my garage. Yes, yes I know it is not our flag but it is a cool lookin one don't ya think. probably going in my sons room.
